To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, FRANK MEsKER and THOMAS O. ARBEGUST, of St. Louis,Missouri,

have jointly made a new and useful Improvement in Window-Frames, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The improvement relates to box windowframes more especially and havingthe stiles formed of sheet metal largely, if not entirely; and theimprovement consists in the means whereby such a window-frame is adaptedto brick and stone work, substantially as is hereinafter set forth andclaimed, aided by the annexed drawings, making part of thisspecification, in which- Figure l is a front elevation of the improvedframe; Fig. 2, a central vertical section; Fig. 3, a horizontal section;Fig. 4, a horizontal section, and Fig. 5 a vertical section upon anenlarged scale.

The same letters of reference denote the same parts.

A A represent the window-sashes; B B, the metal sheet-s composing thestiles; C, the sill beneath the sashes; D, the top bar; E E, the insidefinish-boards; F F, the inside sashstops, and G G the sash-weights.

In the place of uniting the outer face I) of the stile with an adjacentstud in the wall containing the window-frame, said face is united withthe wall H of the building, and

preferably by turning the face I) inward at b V to form a shoulder whichabuts against the end h of the wall, and then forming a flange b uponthe part b and inserting the flange in the wall, substantially as shown.The wall, as stated, is brick or stone, and a suitable crevice h isformed in the wall to receive the stile-flange 12 The board E at oneedge e is united with the inner edge 17 of the stile, and its other edgee is nailed to the wall H, and between the board and wall a plaster coatI may be applied, as shown.

We claim v 1. The combination of the wall, the metal stile, and theboard, the inner edge of said stile being secured to one edge of saidboard, the opposite edge of the said board being secured to said .wall,substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the wall and the board secured at one edge tothe former, of the metal stile having its inner edge secured to-one edgeof said board and its outer edge extended inwardly and abutting againstthe wall, said inwardly-extending portion itself extended laterally andentering a crevice or interstice in the'wall, substantially as setforth.
